Condenser Fan Control
Refrigeration efficiency improves as compressor discharge pressure is reduced, but this is not the whole story. The most energy efficient setting will vary dependent on compressor loading, ambient temperature and condenser capacity.
Condenser fans are generally controlled by pressure switches or a step control, which will switch fans on and off to maintain a set point. The result is a wide control band and inefficient operation.
Our condenser fan control utilises an inverter to speed control all fans simultaneously, this provides accurate pressure control and efficient fan operation, while utilising the entire condenser surface area.
The set point is calculated for any given operating condition to ensure optimum refrigeration efficiency is maintained.
Mechanical wear as a result of repeated fan cycling is avoided, while lower air velocities reduce condenser fouling.
Refrigeration efficiency can be improved by over 10%.
